Riot police and protesters clashed for a second day Wednesday with officers firing tear gas trying to disperse a crowd of about 150 people who threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at police in the capital Pristina.

Wednesday's protests followed news of the arrest of opposition lawmaker Donika Kadaj-Bujupi on charges of releasing tear gas inside parliament.

Police also said they were looking for three more lawmakers including Albin Kurti, founder of the opposition Self-Determination party, who is wanted for releasing tear gas and firing pepper spray in a bid to disrupt legislative sessions.

The governing coalition has been meeting in smaller rooms outside the main parliamentary chambers and has even passed the 2016 budget with the opposition boycotting sessions as the country's political crisis deepens.

Kosovo broke away from Serbia in 1999 after its ethnic Albanian majority fought a war of secession backed by NATO airstrikes. It formally declared independence in 2008.

But its sovereignty is not recognized by several European countries including Greece, Russia, Serbia and Spain. Yet Pristina has been trying to implement a three-way deal between Belgrade, Pristina and the small Balkan state's ethnic Serbian minority.

Kosovo's nationalist opposition has said no more parliament sessions would be allowed unless the deals are renounced. The government accuses them of trying to come to power by force.
